Must Read: Brother Wale - Season 1 - Episode 29

“Guy you don go check your result?” Yemi asked me on the night I had running stomach.

“I never check oh!” I said, “you don check?”

“No oh I never check, make we go check am tomorrow na!”

“Guy I dey fear ooh”

“You dey fear wetin?” I was unaware Brother Wale was listening.

“I dey mad? Why I go fear? I no dey fear ohh!”

“Okay since you are not scared, I will give you money to buy the scratch card, and I want you to check it tomorrow” The Commander had spoken.

“Guy I dey fear oh! I fit fail maths oh!” I whispered to Yemi.

“hahahahahaha! Shebi that day wey we dey write maths you go dey sleep!”

“Guy shebi I tell you say make we no come this cyber café? You too s’tubborn”


“Why you no want make we check our result here? Shey na because Tolani my sister dey work here?” We stood at the front of the cyber café.

“No! no be because of that, I no like this cyber café, people go see the result com dey laugh person”

“E no mean na! We go pass na! And if we pass and our result make sense people go tell us congratulation” Yemi said, [/B]“Them fit even dash us money sef”

“them go dash us money say wetin happen? Na them be our papa?”

“Make we enter na?”

“Guy you enter first!”[/B] I adjusted my curtain-material shirt and washed my lips with my tongue so my crush would be attracted to my “red lip”, Cliff lip I mean to say.


“SB, What happened to your lip?” Tolani was just seeing it for the first time.


“Ok Dog! Dog bite me” The scar from Brother Wale’s death and resurrection still remained.

“Hahahahahahahaha! Dog! You and Dog sef?” She laughed remembering the other day.

“Tolani we are here to check our result” Yemi said.

“Ooooh! Finally you want to check your result now” I never knew Yemi was also scared of failure.

The internet connection was so fast but my heart beat was faster.

“Thou art worthy O Lord, Worthy O Lord……………………… To receive Glory honour and power………………………………… For Thou art created all things are for thy plessure…………………… They are and were created……………………… Thou art worthy Lord…………………”

“SB this one wey you dey sing so, are we safe?” Yemi the wide mouth.

“Make I no sing again? Make I no praise God?”

“hahahahahahaha! SB don’t mind him jor, praise God”

In my heart of heart I had concluded that should Yemi score a C in mathematics, I had failed the subject, but should he score a B or an A in the subject, then I was safe.

“Yemi you try oh!” His result was out.

“Really? What did he score in Mathematics?” I couldn’t see the computer screen from where i sat.

“Come see am na!” Yemi was all smiles.

“You no fit tell me! Abi you wound for mouth?” My blood pressure escalated.

“I get C5 for maths ooh!” He said.

“Really! Make I see am!” I stood up from where I sat.

What I saw was “Chicken Boy Chicken Boy Chicken Boy”. Chicken Boy was a slang said to refer to a result full of C’s and B’s. Earlier Tolani had shown I and Yemi her result which was “Aba Aba Aba Aba Aba”. Aba was another slang said to refer to a result full of A’s and B’s. I remember when I brought home a “Father Francis Fried Five Fresh Fishes for Five Friends Form France” result home.

I was in SS2 then, it was first term. Maami died a month to our exam, and the trauma of losing a loving mother made me detested my books. I slept in all the exam papers especially in mathematics.

When we were given our result I was smiling not expecting what I saw; I mean I knew I would fail but not that kind of failure.

“SB make we see your result na” Kpobo said.

“Why you wan see my result? Make I see your own first”

“See my own na!” He showed me.

“Oboy your result na Deede Deede Deede” I said.

Deede was yet another slang said to refer to a result full of D’s and E’s; the “Sir” kind of result – and of course you and I know Deede is Igbo language means “Sir”.

Deede result wasn’t far in hierarchy when compared to Father Francis result, or so I thought, so I showed Kpobo my result.

“Guy this your result na Father Francis Fried Five Fresh Fishes for Five Friends From France”
